Only a small number of Palestinians will be able to pass through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt each day, even after Israel has reopened the facility. The crossing, which has been closed for an extended period, now permits a handful of people in each direction but explicitly prohibits the movement of goods. The decision reflects a deliberate policy to restrict cargo while allowing limited personal transit between the territories. _2_ Authorities at the border management office have set a daily quota of dozens of individuals, and the process includes verification steps to confirm permits and travel documentation. The gate operates under a schedule that allows a fixed number of entries and exits per day, with precise monitoring to enforce the no‑goods rule. This arrangement aims to meet humanitarian considerations while maintaining strict control over material transfer across the frontier. _3_ The limited opening of the Rafah crossing has implications for the residents of Gaza, who must navigate a constrained channel to reach Egypt or receive essential supplies. With no goods permitted, families facing shortages or medical needs face additional obstacles, highlighting the complexity of border regulation in the region. The policy signals Israel’s ongoing focus on security and border management, even as it provides a minimal transit corridor for Palestinians at Rafah. The situation remains fluid, and updates will likely follow if changes to the crossing volume or goods allowance are implemented.
